Barber’s famous and beloved Adagio is paired with the Brahms’ sextet. Both of works of youth. The Adagio is part of a string quartet but has gained another independent life in an arrangement for string orchestra which is among the most popular in the orchestral repertoire. It was written when Barber was 24 years old. In contrast, Brahms was a hoary 27 years old when he composed the Sextet.
